Optimizing facilities

We maintain over 12,000 sites worldwide, including office buildings, mail and parcel centers and logistics warehouses. We inspect and assess every site individually before developing a site-specific efficiency concept to improve energy management.

All solutions are designed to be commercially viable within the occupation period of each building, depending on whether the property is leased or owned by us.

In line with our Burn Less principle, our facility management relies mainly on solutions such as LED lighting, smart meters and energy efficient heating and cooling systems. In addition we use electricity from renewable energy sources such as wind, hydropower, solar and biomass (Burn Clean). More than 60% of electricity used at our sites comes from renewable energy sources. In Belgium, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the UK, and the US, we refrain almost entirely from using electricity from conventional energy sources and obtain over 90% of our energy needs from renewable sources.

Delivering Tomorrow

Mission 2050: Zero Emissions

After achieving a significant improvement in our carbon efficiency in recent years, we are once again setting the bar high for our industry: We intend to reduce all logistics-related emissions to zero by 2050.
